| Just an idea how diaper cover may look like with small "manly" buttons |
But today, I would like to share with all of my crochet virtual friends another free written pattern - my newest (and fairly easy) diaper cover project (plus two videos - one for right-handed and one for left-handed crochet artisans).
As you see, I worked with a yarn in the color that resembles a stone Jade, which is an emperor's gem. I love the idea that it represents benevolence, honesty, wisdom, integrity and bravery - great iconographics about it HERE - which is actually quite interesting. I would like to mention also that the yarn is soft and I love the fact that it is a blend of two natural fibers - cotton and merino wool.
This pattern is textured, yet simple enough for someone that is seasoned beginner. My video will help those that are slightly inexperienced but have courage to push themselves a little further. As for the experienced ones - it is a very easy and fast project.
You can make it in any color to accommodate both genders. You could also "play" with two colors to make it even more interesting, such as crochet around with an off white yarn. This pattern could be unisex - if you make it in a different color with a different style edging - even girls could wear it.
